Default Couple HID questions

Looking to order some HIDs for my 2000 camaro. Preferably low beams and bog lights. I think i will be ordering from the ebay seller "supervtec" since people seem to be happy with his kits. Is everything plug and play? Also, does anyone have a link to exactly which kits i should buy, or are they all pretty much iniversal? Thanks

I bought mine from DDM. Slow shipping, but great price, quality, warranty & reputation.

do not buy from supevtec - I ordered a kit from him. He shipped me the wrong bulb type. Sent him numerous emails and he would never respond. Filed claim through Paypal which took forever.

I now have ordered all my kits from DDMtuning for my cars and parent's - work great!

Update: Looks like DDM's 880 bulb kit is the one to go with for Camaro fogs, as with a 35 watts ballast, the bulbs will put out 35 watts, not the lower wattage 880 bulbs usually are (27 watts). 894 bulbs are usually 35.5 watts, so this should be a good match.

I've ordered from him twice with no issue. Sorry that happened to you though.


To the OP - get the slim digital ballast kit. Better than the older, thick, analog kits. Have had mine for about 2 years with 0 issues, from -20 below (yes you read that right, -20) to 100 degrees. *edit* I'm wrong here. Cheap is cheap, digital or analog. Good quality analog is better than digital I've found out long term. I got lucky with my xentec digitals. They're actually not that great compared to my Morimoto HID kit I have now.
